Our World On Easter Sunday ...

Four Items defined this morning's Easter Sunday's media coverage and all make definitive statements ...

Fox News has spent the past two hours covering mass and The Pope addressing crowds in Rome.

MSNBC has not covered it for one minute. After a curt Happy Easter, they have spent all morning slamming President Bush. In other words, business as usual.

Think they are addressing different markets? We have reached an age where all the cable news stations are complete OP-ED vehicles. They no longer even cover the same stories.

No where to be seen or read anywhere was any blessing from the Muslim world to the Catholic wishing respectful gestures to the peoples and hopes for future peace.

The BBC is reporting the the 15 freshly released hostages are capitalizing on their new found fame by entering into book, film and television deals detailing their experiences. Keep in mind these are military personal who were serving at the time of the incident. Can't wait to see who gets cast as the villians playing Bush and Blair.

In today's New York Times David Brook writes of his disenchantment and disbelief from a recent experience attending a conference made up of American and Arab conservatives attempting to patch relations in the best of good faith. Brook's writes that every Arab speaker blamed the root of all that is wrong in the Arab world on Israel. Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, poverty, overpopulation, fundamentalism, you name it. Blame the Jews.

Can we please sprint to an oil substitute and leave these losers to their own pathetic destinies? It's never going to change over there.

See this one for yourself.

A War of Narratives

I just attended a conference that was both illuminating and depressing. It was co-sponsored by the Center for Strategic Studies at the University of Jordan and the American Enterprise Institute, and the idea was to get Americans and moderate Arab reformers together to talk about Iraq, Iran, and any remaining prospects for democracy in the Middle East.
